qabr pe shabbir ki karte thay abid buka
hogayi kya kya jafa, suniye shahe karbala
sar pe kisi ke na thi chadar
Abid would come to the grave of Shabbir and

Listen to what calamities have befallen oh
master of Karbala
There was no covering on anyone’s head

ek rasan may baandhe chote bado ke galay
barsare darbar sab is tarha laaye gaye
kotho se barsaat the pathar
All the heads, young and old, were tied on one

We were all brought to the courtyard like that
They were throwing stones from their houses

kufe ke baazar may majma-e kuffaar may
ek tamasha sa tha, aale sitam gaar may
aise may maa behne khule sar
In the streets of kufa, amongst the disbelievers
It was like a festival for the oppressors
While our mothers and sisters were without a
covering

tauq se hargis na tha baba mera sar jhuka
hathkadi aur bedi ka koi mujhe gham na tha
arey dekha nahi jata tha manzar
I never bowed down with the fear of being
beaten
I didn’t mind the handcuffs and chains
But I just couldn’t see the scene

arey bali sakina ka gham dil ye nahi bhool tha
sab ke the shaane bandhe uska bandha tha gala
arey dard se wo roti thi mustar
My heart cannot forget the sorrow of my
beloved Sakina
All our shoulders were tied but her neck was in
the rope
That young disturbed girl would cry out of pain

meri phuphi jaan thi balwe may jo sar khulay
naize se ammu mere farsh pe gir padte thay
haaye chacha jaan ka safar
My dear aunt was also in the open without any
covering
My uncle would keep making himself fall off the
spear
How hard the journey was for my dear uncle

leke gaye jab hamay bazm-e-sitamgaar may
saat-sau kursi nasheen baithe thay darbaar may
thakht pe baitha tha sitamgar
When they took us to the court of the

There were 700 people sitting in the courtyard
The oppressor was sitting on the throne

jab kiya sajjad se aake kisis ne sawaal
guzra kahan par imam aap ko zyaada malaal

Where were you hurt the most, oh Imam
He continuously said Ash-Shaam
